I teach electronics to 11th & 12th graders at a vocational school near
Lake Ontario N.Y.(BOCES). I am trying to convince my boss that
Mindstorms is THE thing I need to teach intro to robotics. I am getting
a set for myself this weekend to learn about it.(Toys-R-Us $200.00) Is
there anybody out there with any Lesson Plans using Mindstorms? Will the

REALLY like the idea of Prey & predator to split the class into
competition! IDEAS!!?? :-) Thanks ahead of time and I am GLAD they
stopped talking about the LegOs SoftFirmware stuff!
Later, Bill Leggett

| The only site with K-12 RCX-related lesson plans (that I know of): (URL) Systems Engineering section has the most to do with RCX, although the kinetic sculpture section has some RCX stuff too. I've done intelligent houses, a ski resort... and also (...) (26 years ago, 4-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
